Mysterious journey

He raised his arm and saw an earthworm-like line suddenly protruding from the skin on his hand.

The lines slowly swam between the skin and flesh, like a fish swimming in the water. It seemed to be a living creature, or some kind of bug.

"Is it an illusion?" Garen closed his eyes and opened them again. The lines on his hands disappeared.

He continued to stride towards the man-eating tree, and the hanging branches around him began to swing, and they were densely packed like long human hair.

Whoosh.

Countless branches all gathered together at once, as if knitting a sweater, and the branches quickly knitted a butterfly several meters wide, a black butterfly.

The butterfly flapped its wings gently, pulling countless black branches and floating in front of Garen.

Hiss!

A thin slit suddenly opened in the middle of the butterfly's body, and it suddenly opened like a mouth.

Tear! !

Garen dug his hands deeply into the small slit in the middle of the butterfly's mouth, and tore the butterfly in half with two hands.

"What else can you do? Show them all." Garen sneered and strode towards the man-eating tree.

The woman appeared again, with only one eye exposed, looking at Garen quietly from the left side.

Garen suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed half of the woman's face, but his grasp was suddenly empty. He was a little stunned. With his speed, he couldn't catch the opponent accurately.

"This farce should be over." He raised his right arm, and the whole arm suddenly swelled, and the skin and muscles quickly turned into a terrifying blue-black color, with a trace of metallic luster. The first star was turned on instantly.

Aiming at the center of the man-eating tree, he grabbed hard with his right hand.

ah! ! !

There was a sharp scream.

Garen's eyes suddenly flashed. Amidst the scream that seemed to be a neutral voice, he stabbed his right hand directly into the trunk of the man-eating tree.

When he came back to his senses, he was standing in front of the big tree, the sky was bright all around, and the low voices of Rhodes and Alan Hill could be heard faintly behind him. There was also the commotion around Alan Hill's men.

His right hand was stabbing hard into the tree trunk, and bright red blood was slowly flowing out from the edge of the wound on the trunk.

Wow.

Withdrawing his arm, Garen lowered his head and looked at his feet.

The soil there unexpectedly separated automatically, revealing the corner of a slightly black mask underneath.

He squatted down, grabbed the mask, pulled it out with all his strength. The familiar cool air flowed quickly into his arms, which was the potential value.

'You defeated an invisible creature. Hesas's voice sounded at this time, "But this invisible creature seems to have little power. Apart from the corrosiveness and virus of the man-eating tree itself, it only has a little hallucination ability. It has no effect on you, but it is very scary for ordinary people." 's existence. ’

Garon understood that invisible creatures existed in a world that humans could not see, and they were existences that he found difficult to understand.

Quickly return to Rhodes' location. Both of them stared at him as if they had seen a ghost.

"I got it, the mask." Garen shook the mask in his hand, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Rhodes pointed at Garen's shoulder, his fingers trembling a little, as if he saw something terrible.

Garen lowered his head and saw a thin line like an earthworm constantly swimming on the skin of his shoulder. It was like a living creature swimming around the left shoulder and neck.

‘It’s the curse of invisible creatures. ’ Hesas explained in a timely manner. 'Some invisible creatures place curses on creatures that offend them. But for you, you only need to go back and use the void core to purify it, but for ordinary people, it is as terrifying as a desperate situation. This thin line is called gluttony. It will bite the muscles continuously at first, and then it will get into the internal organs and devour it. Until the person dies. ’

Garen understood, and took out a small purple-black void core fragment from his trouser pocket, and gently pressed it on the thin line.

Suddenly a burst of green smoke came out.

Hiss.

Waves of smoke appeared directly from the thin line, and soon it was completely offset by the debris, and seemed to be absorbed.

"This thing is a bit weird, it seems to be some kind of parasite!" Rhodes was relieved.

"Let's go." Garen held up his mask and walked toward the exit of the Botanical Garden.

Rhodes followed closely behind.

Behind him, Alan Hill stared at him with complicated eyes. Garen did it and got the mask without killing the man-eating tree. In fact, what he did was not called digging at all, but seemed to be sent to him by the man-eating tree itself.

I looked back at the man-eating tree. It looked lifeless and seemed to have been greatly damaged, but it was better than being completely knocked down.

"What happened to Cole and Cohen?" He asked Maura in a low voice, who was leaning next to him.

"They haven't caught it yet, but I'm afraid they are still looking for opportunities. This time the Nighthawk King suddenly came over, it must be the news they revealed." Mora replied in a low voice. This time is indeed very dangerous. If it weren't for Rhodes's relationship, I am afraid that the King of Nighthawks would have come directly, and the halo would have suffered a lot of damage at that time.

"Are you sure that Cole and Cohen have nothing to do with the Nighthawk King?" Alan Hill asked in a low voice.

"After investigation, Cohen was almost killed by the King of Nighthawks in Africa. In the end, he was let go for some unknown reason." Mora answered that intelligence and tracking were his forte.

"Then kill them! I will take action myself!" This was considered a transfer of hatred by Alan Hill. He was beaten up by Garen and suffered internal injuries. His precious man-eating tree was also injured and his low-profile mask was taken away. He didn't dare to say a single harsh word and had to accompany him the whole time. This made him feel angry and useless. To the extreme.

Garen, who was walking away in the distance, regained his attention and a smile appeared on his lips.

He didn't care what purpose Cohen wanted to use him to achieve, as long as he achieved his own purpose, that was enough. As for his life or death, that has nothing to do with him.

*******************

Time flies, and more than a month has passed in the blink of an eye. The weather in Germany is gradually getting colder, and winter has entered November.

White snow covered the entire outskirts of Berlin city. The mask Garen got from under the man-eating tree did not provide many potential points, only more than 80 points. It seemed that the man-eating tree itself was also absorbing this power, consuming a lot of it. Part of the potential, not much left.

Adding 82 points to the remaining 94 points, the final result is 176 points, which is enough to add one attribute to intelligence, reaching eleven points.

After ten points, the number of potential points required to improve attributes is simply terrifying. One point requires one hundred points. It would be absolutely easy in the totem world, but it is extremely difficult to find here.

After these potential points were used up, Garen had no choice but to start looking for the whereabouts of a new mask again. Fortunately, the mask of the Man-eating Tree is the fifth mask. After obtaining this mask, the superimposed force field of all the masks seems to have a good suppression on the dragon-shaped coin. The number of Nadia's attacks decreased for a while. And its power was temporarily weakened. But soon Nadia seemed to have used some special means to get closer again. The further increase in power forced Garen to continue looking for a new mask.

According to the information provided by Rhodes, the sixth mask exists in the global jungle zone - the Memphis Jungle.

The Memphis Jungle is a region unique to this world. It is like a green belt surrounding the entire planet, spreading and stretching endlessly. The location of the mask is said to be on the edge of a rare and hidden Moon River. The Moon River is a river shaped like a crescent moon. There are no less than a dozen places in the Memphis jungle.

And just as he was about to leave for the Memphis jungle, the news about Lotus Leaf Pearl finally came back.

After Rhodes negotiated with the original color, the other party gave up the lotus leaf bead, and the sea snake and seal teamed up to hunt it down, and finally killed it in a port in New Zealand.

squeaky

On the outskirts of Berlin, on a trail, the thick layer of white snow made a crisp sound when the boots stepped on it.

A man in a gray coat exhaled white breath and walked on the road that had not yet been cleared.

To his right were towering gray-white villas, and to his left were rows of dense snow-covered pine forests. Black soil could be faintly seen under the white snow. In front is a snowy road that leads straight to an unknown place, and behind is the entrance where the road and the trail meet. A black Jeep can be faintly seen parked on the edge of the entrance.

The man was holding a black leather bag in his hand. He walked a little further, went directly to the left and went up the steps of a villa, and gently pressed the doorbell.

Ding~~~

The doorbell kept ringing.

After a while, there was a click and the door opened. A middle-aged maid with a dull face opened the door, nodded to him, and made a gesture of inviting him in without saying a word.

The man seemed to know the maid.

"Thank you Ma Qiuli." He walked in with his bag, took off the hood of his coat, revealing his bald head, took off his coat and handed it to the maid.

Carrying a bulging black leather bag with one hand, the man changed his shoes and climbed up to the second floor.

Stepping on the black wooden boards, he walked directly to the door of a room on the right and knocked lightly.

"Please come in." A deep male voice came from inside.

The man opened the door and saw a handsome blond man sitting inside, slowly putting down his cell phone and turning sideways towards him. From his angle, he could also vaguely see the content flashing on the phone screen.

It seemed like a small talk with family members.

The blond man sitting in the seat still had a gentle smile on his face.

"The things have been brought." He quickly collected himself, not daring to look further.

"Okay, it was handed over by someone from the Sea Serpent, right?" The blond man is Garen, who has been in Berlin for a while. He basically doesn't go to school anymore and is working hard on the mask. He explains to his family that he He is running a company outside and is busy starting a business. University is not of great use to him. Anyway, as long as he finally gets a diploma, it will be fine.

Gallon has thoroughly studied the courses at Galliville University, and has already submitted all the assessment papers and investigation reports in advance. As long as you have enough credits, the school will not care what you do.

The bald man stepped forward and placed the black handbag in his hand on the Galleon table.

He opened the zipper with a hiss, took out a black plastic bag, placed it on the table, and opened the plastic bag.

A faint musky smell suddenly filled the air.

What was placed in the plastic bag was a round human head.

"This is a lotus leaf bead, which represents Mr. Rhodes' sincerity." Bald Caton whispered.
